The most successful Hungarian rock band in history, OMEGA is one of the rare bands to have been known outside in his country. The legend has it that as albums were released in other countries it became necessary to brake the language barrier. Their music is a combination of Eastern European prog with a bit of symphonic and a bit of psyche prog. The result is a dark orchestrated sound combined with extended improvisation. Their discography actually starts in the early 60's, and goes in till today in a more modern register. Several albums were released in Hungarian as well as English. I'd prefer the 'accented' English version of the albums. The more so, the music remains the same...

1968 to 1975: OMEGA issued their first Hungarian 'Trombitás Frédi és a Rettenetes Emberek' (1968) that became their first golden album. The band sealed their success with two subsequent LPS: '10 000Ejszakai Orszagut (1970 / 2003) Lépés' and 'Omega 3' / 'Éjszakai Országút'. Their first releases, such as 'Omega 3' / 'Éjszakai Országút', 'Élö Omega' and 'Omega 5' were basically pop rock some very good songs. '200 Years After The Last War' is a brilliant album, solid rock and roll with beautiful ballads.
